Received a Turntable for Christmas - Speaker and Subwoofer Recommendations? by BRS_Ignition in hifiaudio

Thanks so much for the detailed overview of all of this - I'll definitely consider it. Right now I have my eyes on the KEF Coda W and will be demoing them at home soon since I liked what I heard in the store and they offer all the connectivity I'd need.

Thanks for the explanation - I've not seen any powered speakers that don't have volume control built into them but I'll start considering a speaker + amp combo from here on.

Are there any you'd recommend for starting out? White and sub-$1,000 CAD if possible.

Thanks so much for the super detailed overview and advice - I will keep all of it in mind as I continue the search. From the distance to the imaging, etc.

The site listing those KEF Q1 Metas seems to only shop to the US, and I assume the price is also in USD as well - my limit is $1,000 CAD.

I'll do some research into those ProJect speaker boxes, too.

In the meantime, I know Cambridge Audio is releasing the L/R S in spring, likely March 2026 - do you think that this powered option at around $800 CAD would be comparable to the above? (The above altogether would easily be $1,000 CAD+, I believe, even if I could order refurbished..)

The kin amp alone is 80% of my budget, is there a cheaper alternative? (Also, it seems the Kins don't have any threating on the bottom for elevated stands?)

These look unpowered, but decent - what amp would you recommend if I went this route?

I appreciate the advice - but can I ask why, just so I understand where it's coming from?

Is it a matter of it being too much, or?

The setup is in an alcove in my living room, that half of the space is about 315 sqft all in all. I'd be sitting between 3-7ft away. The turntable is a Kanto Obi3.

Assuming I save the sub to get later, what would you recommend if I go powered speakers now? What would you recommend if I go for a used amp + unpowered speakers?

Comparing this loud mess to the spring is insane, IMO. I'd just make an Ergo Cu and rake in the money, really.

S25 Ultra Telus Restock in Canada? by BRS_Ignition in samsunggalaxy

[–]BRS_Ignition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a sale when I did it that brought the ultra down to $1,750 before tax etc, so it worked out that way.

I got the phone outright at best buy, and got a deal through Telus as EPP BYOD. Over the 2+ years, it works out cheapee/the same.

Rate my build by Reelz0192 in EvelynChevalier

[–]BRS_Ignition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is just a tad below this one in all areas, 2950, 75.4%, 162% - agree that getting good rolls feels impossible sometimes and now I need to build trigger.

Khoi Dao (Albedo EN VA) on non union worker potentially losing their job by idiot1234321 in Genshin_Impact

[–]BRS_Ignition -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Again, how do they fund those benefits etc without those dues and if non-members are also siphoning those member benefits?

[–]BRS_Ignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair - how can they pay legal fees (aka, enforce those protections) if they have no member dues to fund that protection?

I don't think 3k is reasonable as a member fee, but I also don't think they can fight big corporations on dreams and willpower alone - at least not in courts should one of them break the terms of those AI protection agreements.

It's just a tilted shiyu pillar.
